STOCKTON – A 30-year-old man told police he was in the slough near the 1800 block of East Jefferson Street around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday when he was stabbed.

The man said he argued with three men over the possession of a tent, according to a police report. One of the three assaulted the victim, who received a non-life-threatening wound from what police described as a machete-type weapon.
